1952 Map of Leesburg
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Leesburg serves as the focal point for this early 1950s survey of Loudoun County, where the rail lines of the Washington and Old Dominion intersect with the Leesburg Turnpike. The landscape is a mix of small crossroads communities and rural institutions, including Douglas Sch and the historic Oatlands estate. The presence of Evergreen Mills and multiple quarries near Trap Rock reflects the local resource-based economy, while the Potomac River forms the northeastern boundary, accompanied by the C & O Canal along the Maryland side. Waterways like Goose Creek and Sycoline Creek wind through the countryside, crossed by local landmarks such as Murrays Ford Bridge. This mapping captures the area before the significant suburban expansion of the later 20th century, preserving the locations of rural churches like Sycoline Ch and Mt Olive Ch.
